TheRedStranger Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 From Game breaking bugs to hilarious exploits of a game's code, this is the place where we show off and talk about our hilarious (and sometimes unsettling) encounters with glitches throughout our gaming lives. I'll go first: Clearly as you can see, Snake is the best driver in all the Indian Ocean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToaArcan Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Here's an appropriate one for a largely Sonic-based site. I've had the misfortune of playing Boom, and during one section, I discovered that the rocks that littered the area are not actually solid objects unless you jump on them. If you walk into one, you literally walk into it. Due to the size of the rocks, there were one or two that made both Sonic and Amy look like decapitated heads just sitting on top of boulders. Even more did the same for Tails, or worse, made him look like half a head. Buffles' size meant that he at least got to keep part of his chest.

Wulfsbane Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 "The Falador Massacre" So this was an "event" that happened on the MMORPG RuneScape back on 06/06/2006, 10 years ago today. Player "Cursed You" was the first to achieve level 99, the highest you could achieve, in construction; a skill that allowed you to build your own house to your liking, complete with things such as a fighting room, a dungeon, trophy room, etc. There was a lot you could do with this skill. Cursed, being the first to achieve level 99 held a massive house party. This is where things got a bit messy. During the party, in which hundreds of other players were at, caused a massive server lag and Cursed kicked everyone out of the house. Now, people who were in the combat ring who were fighting were able to fight others in the main world, something you cant do unless in certain minigames or in the "Wilderness", the game's player killing area. Player Durial321, went on this massive killing spree in multiple towns, starting in Rimmington, culminating in the city of Falador, where most of the killing took place, and eventually ending to Edgevile. Hundreds of other players were killed and the development team had to be called back into the office (in the middle of the night cause Jagex is based in England) to create a hotfix for the issue. Multiple players were banned due to the exploitation of the glitch and the mods apologized to anyone that was a victim to the incident, but didnt return the lost items. Today, Jagex is making light of this event, opening a special world for the day (World 666) allowing everyone to kill each other in Falador. This event is special because the world temporary gives everyone max stats, the tools and everything and let the players have fun recreating this event. It's actually quite amusing and a little interesting that Jagex is making light of a major (and accidental) bug abuse event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToaArcan Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 I remember reading about that on Cracked before Cracked went full-SJW and started sucking. It was like the forerunner to the Corrupted Blood incident in Warcrack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wulfsbane Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 The thing about this was that it was a complete accident that was overlooked when coding the skill into the game. No one knew about the bug until it was too late. Corrupted Blood was an oversight by Blizzard that took way to long to fix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Falador Massacre got its name because the players decided to use the glitch to murder a bunch of defenceless people, while the Corrupted Blood case is actually now used as a case study regarding bioterrorism, because the tactics people used to spread it were so similar to real-life cases.

It doesnt help that the main guy in the Falador Massacre was apart of one of the largest pking clans in RuneScape. But I love how Corrupted Blood became a case study and how to figure out what a plan should be for epidemics/bioterrorism Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players were having an in-game wake for a dead community member, and this whole outfit showed up with aircraft and carpet-bombed the procession. Because they could. The guys were already notorious for basically being white supremacists, and were shortly banhammered. The entire outfit. Yea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
